Hello, fellow poetry enthusiast. I recently revisited Robert Frost's iconic poem, "The Road Not Taken," and found myself deeply pondering over its concluding verse: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." This verse, rich in metaphor and imagery, seems to encapsulate a profound message about choices, individuality, and the consequences of our decisions. However, I believe there's much more beneath the surface that I'm not fully grasping. Could anyone share their interpretations of this verse? How do you perceive the "road less traveled" and the "difference" it made? I'm interested in hearing diverse perspectives on how this metaphor speaks to personal journeys, decisions, and regrets. Thank you in advance for sharing your insights. I'm looking forward to a lively and enlightening discussion!

I know that sometimes the books we get assigned to read in school can be boring. However, I've found some interesting reads, and I'm interested in knowing what everyone's favorite (or least hated) book from school is. Mine was "The Outsiders".

Are there books that you wish were translated into your native language? I have a lot of those. There are some excellent fiction and nonfiction books that I've read in English that I really enjoyed and I'm pretty sure my Polish and Russian friend would love too. Unfortunately, not all of them speak English, and the books have never been (and probably will never be) translated into Russian/Polish. Each time I keep thinking - why does it happen? Why so many really rubbish stuff gets to have a professional translation, but so many wonderful books never get the chance? Do you also have the same problem or is it easy to find the books you read in your native language's version?
